Do you masturbate? Does your mate masturbate? Do the two of you masturbate together? Well, maybe you should--Masturbation Can Save Your Relationship!
For some the idea of their partner getting sexual pleasure without them involved is gross and can be seen as an act of infidelity. I agree—if you are new to the whole idea of self sexual gratification it can be a bit of a shocker when you walk in and catch your partner jerking off to a lingerie mag or porno. But, the truth is—masturbation is perfectly normal. Yes! I said normal. There is the belief that if you or your partner masturbates that you are not getting full sexual satisfaction in your relationship. This couldn’t be further from the truth! There are lots of reasons people masturbate while in relationships…
1. Their sex drive is higher than their mates
2. They are bored
3. They have extra sexual tension that needs to be released
4. They want the physical release of having an orgasm but don’t want to go through the hassle of having sex
5. Their partner is unavailable for sexual intercourse (Men often have to deal with this when their wife/girlfriend is pregnant)
Masturbation can rejuvenate your desire to be intimate with your partner. If you find that you or your mate masturbate so much that you no longer have a desire to be intimate with one another—there is a serious problem. GET HELP! Masturbation is normal when done in moderation—just like everything else in life.
The act of self gratification can help you figure out your own body and what is pleasurable to you—further assisting with making your sexual experiences as a couple greater. You guys can have a great time teaching each other and exploring.
The key to managing your relationship and masturbation is to communicate with your partner about your sexual needs/masturbation habits and set boundaries that you are both comfortable with. There should be no “secrets” about masturbation. I mean, the two of you don’t need to talk about it over dinner with the family, BUT it is very important that you talk about it at some point.

When approaching the topic try not be judgmental! Be as open minded as possible, clearly share you’re sexual wants and expectations, and be willing to trying something new.
